JavaScript get elements from an object array that

问题:

I'm new in JavaScript programming and I have two object arrays that have the following structure:

myFirstObjArray = [{foo: 1, bar: 1}, {foo: 3, bar: 3}, {foo: 4, bar: 5}];
mySecondObjArray = [{foo: 2}, {foo: 4}, {foo: 5}];

I need to get two separate arrays containing the values of key foo, the first containing the ones that are in the first array but not in the second, based on the value of key foo, and the second that are in mySecondObjArray but not in myFirstObjArray.

Is there a way to do this without

for(i=0;i<myFirstObjArray.length;i++)
   for(j=0;j<mySecondObjArray .length;j++)
      {...build first array here}

for(i=0;i<mySecondObjArray .length;i++)
   for(j=0;j<myFirstObjArray.length;j++)
      {...build second array here}

? Perhaps my question is a duplicate one that I didn't find, so please be gentle.

Expected output:

firstArray = [{foo: 1}, {foo: 3}];
secondArray = [{foo: 2}, {foo: 5}];

You can simply filter one array's elements by setting the condition based on other array's elements like.

var myFirstObjArray = [{foo: 1, bar: 1}, {foo: 3, bar: 3}, {foo: 4, bar: 5}],
    mySecondObjArray = [{foo: 2}, {foo: 4}, {foo: 5}],
    
    firstArray  = myFirstObjArray.filter(o=> !mySecondObjArray.some(i=> i.foo === o.foo));
    
    secondArray  = mySecondObjArray.filter(o=> !myFirstObjArray.some(i=> i.foo === o.foo));
    
    console.log(firstArray.map(o=> {return {'foo' :  o.foo}}))
    console.log(secondArray.map(o=> {return {'foo' :  o.foo}}))

Ps:

The some() method tests whether at least one element in the array passes the test implemented by the provided function. And I've added a function which just checks if foo property exists in the other array with the same value to be able to filter from the first array.

At the end you can use .map to filter out the desired key value pairs

Hope that makes sense

Here is a small solution with just filter and a map with the foo attribute.

const myFirstObjArray = [{foo: 1, bar: 1}, {foo: 3, bar: 3}, {foo: 4, bar: 5}];
const mySecondObjArray = [{foo: 2}, {foo: 4}, {foo: 5}];

const exclude = (arr1, arr2) => arr1.filter(o1 => arr2.map(o2 => o2.foo).indexOf(o1.foo) === -1);

console.log(exclude(myFirstObjArray, mySecondObjArray));
console.log(exclude(mySecondObjArray, myFirstObjArray));

You could filter by look up.

const unique = a => o => !a.some(({ foo }) => o.foo === foo);

var first = [{foo: 1, bar: 1}, {foo: 3, bar: 3}, {foo: 4, bar: 5}],
    second = [{foo: 2}, {foo: 4}, {foo: 5}],
    uniqueFirst = first.filter(unique(second)),
    uniqueSecond = second.filter(unique(first));
    
console.log(uniqueFirst);
console.log(uniqueSecond);

You can create a reusable function to prevent code duplication. Just switch over to the function parameter. Also note that the inner loop is simple for loop so that we can use break and avoid unnecessary checks.

var firstArray = [];
var secondArray = [];
var myFirstObjArray = [{foo: 1, bar: 1}, {foo: 3, bar: 3}, {foo: 4, bar: 5}];
var mySecondObjArray = [{foo: 2}, {foo: 4}, {foo: 5}];

function difference(myFirstObjArray, mySecondObjArray){
  var firstArray = [];
  myFirstObjArray.forEach((obj)=>{
   var match = false;
   for(var i=0; i<mySecondObjArray.length; i++){
     var secondObj = mySecondObjArray[i];
     if(obj.foo === secondObj.foo){
       match = true;
       break;
     }
   }
   if(!match){
     firstArray.push({'foo': obj.foo});
   }
  });
  return firstArray;
}


console.log(difference(myFirstObjArray, mySecondObjArray));

console.log(difference(mySecondObjArray, myFirstObjArray));

ES5 without using fat arrow,

var myFirstObjArray = [{foo: 1, bar: 1}, {foo: 3, bar: 3}, {foo: 4, bar: 5}],
    mySecondObjArray = [{foo: 2}, {foo: 4}, {foo: 5}],
    
    firstArray  = myFirstObjArray.filter(function(o) { return !mySecondObjArray.some(function(i) { return i.foo === o.foo})});
     
    secondArray  = mySecondObjArray.filter(function(o) { return !myFirstObjArray.some(function(i) { return i.foo === o.foo})});
    
    console.log(firstArray)
    console.log(secondArray)
